Julio Salgado

Julio Salgado is the co-founder of DreamersAdrift.com and events and project coordinator at CultureStrike. His status as an undocumented, queer artivist has fueled the contents of his illustrations, which depict key individuals and moments of the DREAM Act movement. Undocumented students and allies across the country have used Salgado’s artwork to call attention to the youth-led movement.

Texas Environmental Justice Advocacy Services (t.e.j.a.s.) works to provide community members with the tools to promote environmental protection through education, policy development, community awareness, and legal action; understanding that everyone, regardless of race or income, is entitled to live in a clean environment.

CultureStrike, in collaboration with Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative, has forged partnerships between artists and frontline environmental justice organizations to create a provocative, limited-edition art print portfolio, called We are the Storm, that highlights the urgency of climate change on these communities.

The portfolio draws inspiration from the powerful work of grassroots groups that are championing creative and community-based solutions to combat climate change. The artworks bring voices from frontline communities that are being the most impacted by climate change and destructive environmental practices, to the forefront of the climate change discussion.

Portfolio contains 23 12″x18″ digital and screenprints from the following artists:
